Come join iDC Photo Video at the PDN PhotoPlus Expo in New York City from October 28-30, 2010. We will be in Booth 562 in the Video Pavilion. I will be heading back and forth between our booth and the Canon Stage discussing HDSLR video capture and in the Canon Speedlite Booth demonstrating Speedlite techniques. We look forward to seeing you there!

Last week’s trip to DV Expo was a great experience. I ran into many interesting filmmakers with all sorts of cool projects in the works. Cinematographer and fellow Canon Explorer of Light Rodney Charters (of 24 fame) stopped by and we chatted about codecs and camera mounts and all sorts of neat HDSLR stuff.

I am very excited to be hosting Western Digital's upcoming WD Photowalk during PhotoPlus Expo... Go to www.wdphotowalk.com for more details and enter for your chance to go shooting with me in New York City!

UPDATE: This contest ended in 2010. Thanks to all who participated.

 If you’re in the Los Angeles area on September 28-30, 2010, be sure to catch my HD video presentation at DV Expo (11:30 am on September 30) in Pasadena. I’ll be giving a ninety minute platform presentation that’s chock full of great information on HD Filmmaking with the Canon HDSLRs.

If you can’t make that event, perhaps you can join me for an EOS Immersion Seminar on Saturday, October 2nd, 2010 or for a full day of HD instruction on Sunday, October 3rd, 2010 when the Canon Live Learning Tour arrives in Los Angeles. Space is limited so Click Here for more information and online registration.

Here’s something fun to report! I recently worked with a talented first-time Director by the name of Rebecca Wilson. I met Rebecca during the San Diego stop of the Canon Live Learning Tour and we quickly laid plans to work together at the earliest opportunity. Rebecca is a fine stills shooter and has a deep history in the music industry as a traveling engineer for a variety of Rock & Roll acts. When the chance came up to shoot a music video for a San Diego band named Hyena, Rebecca asked me to pop over to act as DOP on a song entitled "Anyone’s Guess."

The Really Big News is that the finished piece has been selected by the Curator of San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art for inclusion in a special exhibition that will showcase current trends in motion picture capture. The event, Alt. PictureShow, will run on Thursday, September 8th, 2010. Please attend the screenings if you’re in the area. There will be many great pieces to enjoy. Work continues to refine the final cut so the video is likey evolve further from the version shown here...

Yes, at last; our initial production run of iDC Photo Video’s System One is in stock and ready for delivery. We have System One kits for the all the “tall” cameras. These include the Canon 1D MKIV, Canon 5D MKII with BG-E6, Canon 7D with BG-E7, and Nikon D3s.

Getting to this point has taken somewhat longer than we had promised but we think you’ll agree that the finished product has been worth the wait. Rest assured that we’ve used the extra production time to further evolve the original System One prototypes.

Please note the following list of added features and improvements:
